Definitions

  • This invention relates to pipe fittings screwed into threaded pipes used with fluid-holding apparatuses and more particularly to pipe fitting sealing means with external threads adapted to engage with several types of internal threads of the same nominal diameter used as pipe threads.
  • Tape red pipe threads R, Rc and Rp and parallel threads G according to the ISO and JIS standards and American Standards tapered pipe threads NPT and hermetic tapered pipe threads NPTF according to the ANSI standard are typical examples.
  • a tapered external pipe thread R engages with a tapered internal pipe thread Rc or a parallel internal thread Rp.
  • a parallel external pipe thread G engages with a parallel internal pipe thread G.
  • An American Standards tapered external pipe thread NPT engages with its counterpart internal pipe thread NPT.
  • An American Standards hermetic tapered external thread NPTF engages with its counter part internal pipe thread NPTF. All these combinations provide mechanical connection, hermetic seal and other desired effects.
  • threads of different types differ in thread pitch, major diameter, effective diameter, minor diameter, thread angle, roundness of crest and root and other thread-profile defining parameters. Also, they employ different sealing methods. As such, some threads do not engage with other types of threads, or, even if engaged, do not provide high enough hermetic seal.
  • the engaging length of pipe fittings with tapered threads with a fluid-holding apparatus may vary when the dimensional tolerances of their profile and their reference points, which varies with the type of thread-cutting machines employed, vary. Similar variation occurs even with the same fitting when it is tightened in different numbers of turns. To secure safe enough hermetic seal, therefore, the portion of the conventional pipe fittings is made longer than is otherwise necessary. This margin results in increased cost, fitting difficulties in limited spaces and increased screwing time and labor. They also require troublesome sealing.
  • Sealing may also be made by employing the surface 2a of the fluid-holding apparatus 2 as a bearing surface. But the surface 2a is not always flat. Even when it is flat, it may have too many abrasions or other surface defects to serve as a bearing surface.
  • a main object of this invention is to eliminate imperfect sealing of pipe fittings with multipurpose external pipe threads by use of simple means.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a surer seal by use of a sealing member provided on a tape red surface at tile base of a multipurpose external pipe thread at a point slightly outside the periphery of tire root of the internal thread in the outer end thereof by taking advantage of a chamfered portion that is commonly provided thereat.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a pipe fitting that secures a sure seal even when the area of chamfering on the internally threaded side varies by tapering the base of the multipurpose external pipe thread where the sealing member is provided.
  • a pipe fitting according to this invention has an external pipe thread matching a corresponding internal pipe thread cut in a fluid-holding apparatus, and the external pipe thread is designed to fit various types of internal pipe threads of the same nominal diameter, with the axial length thereof being made as short as possible within the limit in which the desired mechanical connection can be obtained.
  • the external pipe thread has at its base a flared surface tapered at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, and a sealing member to establish a seal between the external and internal threads is provided on the tapered flared surface at a point slightly outside the periphery of the outermost root in the outer end of the internal pipe thread.
  • this type of pipe fitting can be used with various types of internal pipe threads of the same nominal diameter.
  • the axial length of the external thread that is reduced to a minimum within the limit necessary for the securing of adequate mechanical connection permits lowering the cost thereof and facilitates the screwing thereof into fluid-holding apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of this invention, with a principal portion thereof cut open.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B are partially enlarged views of seals provided thereby.
  • FIGS. 3A to 3C are partially enlarged views of seals provided by other preferred embodiments.
  • FIG. 4 schematically illustrates how a multipurpose pipe thread is established.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate defective seals provided by a previously proposed pipe fitting.
  • a thick solid line, a dotted line, a dot-dash line and a thin solid line respectively show the reference thread contour of the internal threads Rc, G, NPT and NPTF that are axially superposed so that the points indicating their reference diameter coincide with each other.
  • Reference character ⁇ shows art angle slightly larger than a half of the taper angle of the tapered threads.
  • the dimensional tolerances of the reference thread contour of the individual threads are as specified in their corresponding standards.
  • the threads of the external thread 6 that screws into all of the four different types of internal pipe threads mentioned above must be on the inside of their threads.
  • the internal threads Rc and G have the same reference diameter, thread pitch, angle of thread, and rounded crest and root contours. They are different only in that the internal thread G is a parallel thread whereas the internal thread Rc is a tapered thread whose diameter becomes smaller in the direction in which it is screwed. Therefore, the threads of the internal thread G are always on the outside of those of the internal thread Rc.
  • the internal threads NPT and NPTF have the same pitch angle, taper angle, angle and height of sharp V-thread, and effective diameter. But their major diameter and root diameter.
  • the minimum diameter of NPTF is smaller than that of NPT but larger than that of Rc.
  • the minimum root diameter of NPT is much smaller than that of NPTF. Therefore, NPT and NPTF can be used together if due consideration is given to the minimum root diameter of the NPT thread.
  • the threads of he external thread 6 must be on the inside of the threads of the internal threads Rc and NPT.
  • Sharp triangles defined by the ridge lines of the threads Rc arid NPT form a continuous range of mountains with a geometrically determined pitch and taper angle. Therefore, a multipurpose external pipe thread fitting the internal threads Rc, G, NPT and NPTF is obtained by deciding the height and contour of crest and root on the basis of their pitch, taper angle, and angle and height of sharp V-thread, plus the diameter and dimensional tolerance of the corresponding internal thread.
  • the hatched area in FIG. 4 shows an example of an external thread thus established.
  • the thread contour of the external thread G may be chosen at random so long as the selected contour is on the inside of the thread contours of the internal threads Rc and NPT.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of this invention with a multipurpose external thread.
  • a pipe fitting 10 comprises a fitting proper 11, a rotatable but unslidable half fitting 12 driven in the fitting proper 11, and an O-ring that seals the clearance between the fitting proper 11 and the driven half fitting 12.
  • the fitting proper 11 is art elbow with a one-touch coupling 16 which is positioned opposite to the driven half fitting 12 and comprises a sealing member (not shown), an engaging member that bites into the outer wall of a pipe to be connected and engages therewith (not shown), and a release member 16a that unfastens tine engaging member when pressed in, thereby allowing the disconnection of the pipe.
  • a sealing member not shown
  • an engaging member that bites into the outer wall of a pipe to be connected and engages therewith
  • a release member 16a that unfastens tine engaging member when pressed in, thereby allowing the disconnection of the pipe.
  • the shape of the pipe fitting of this invention is not limited to an elbow but may be of any design so long as pipes are connectable.
  • the driven half fitting 12 comprises a press-in section 18 that is pressed into the opening of the fitting proper 11, a nut section 19 that is adapted to be turned by a spanner or other turning tool, and a screw-in section 20 that is screwed into a fluid-holding apparatus.
  • the screw-in section 20 has at its base end a tapered surface 21 that flares toward tile nut section 19.
  • the tapered surface 21 can be considered as a surface of a cone having a center axis which coincides with the center axis of the fitting 12. Therefore, the tapered surface 21 flares toward the nut section 19 at an angle of approximately 90 degrees or 45 degrees relative to the center axis of the fitting 12.
  • a multipurpose external pipe thread 23 is cut around tile lower end of the tapered surface 21.
  • the axial length of the multipurpose external pipe thread 23 is reduced to a minimum within the limit necessary for the securing of strong enough mechanical connection to withstand the pneumatic pressure used in service.
  • the preferable axial length is such that two to four threads
  • the tapered surface 21 has an annular sealing groove 21a that is cut at a point slightly outside tile periphery of the root of the largest one of several different types of internal pipe threads matching with the multipurpose external pipe thread 23.
  • a sealing member 22 to seal the clearance between the pipe fitting and tile threaded bore in a fluid-holding apparatus is provided in tile sealing groove 21a.
  • tile pipe fitting 10 is not costly, permits use in small spaces, and allows easy labor-efficient installation.
  • the sealing member 22 is provided in the sealing groove 21a that is cut at a point slightly outside the periphery of the root of the largest one of several different types of internal pipe threads matching with the multipurpose external pipe thread 23. This always provides a sure seal, even when the chamfered area 24 is extremely small as shown in FIG. 2A or when the chamfered area 24 is large as shown in FIG. 2B. Being commonly provided afterward, in addition, the chamfered area 24 has fewer surface defects and dents than the surface 2a of the fluid-holding apparatus 2, thus very causing few sealing problems.
  • the diameter of the external thread is always smaller than that of the internal thread. Therefore, the surfaces of the external and internal threads remain out of contact when they are screwed together and remain unbroken even when they are tightened further, generating little abrasion and cutting powder that can cause malfunction of solenoid valves, cylinders and other parts of the fluid-holding apparatus.
  • FIGS. 3A to 3C show sealing members that are fitted in the pipe fittings 10 whose nut section or the base 2B of the multipurpose external pipe thread 23 is smaller than the outermost crest of the internal thread 5 in diameter.
  • an annular sealing groove 27 to carry a sealing member 28 is provided between the nut section or the base 26 of the external thread and the multipurpose external pipe thread 23. If hard enough to resist deformation, the sealing member 28 remains intact in position even when fluid pressure works thereon.
  • FIG. 3B shows a sealing member 29 edged with an outer ring 30 of synthetic resin or metal that keeps the sealing member 29 from protruding outward.
  • FIG. 3C shows a gasket 31 having a substantially rectangular cross section that serves as a sealing member between the chamfered area 24 and the tapered surface 21.
